FUCHSIAS are ideal plants for shady places 
MOLESWORTH 
This is one of Ihe 
finest varieties for 
hanging baskets or 
low foreground 
plantings. The many 
trailing branches 
are covered for 
months with a gor¬ 
geous array of 
beautiful, very 
double, red and 
white flowers. The 
corolla is white, the 
sepals clear red. 
You'll Enjoy Growing Fuchsias 
There is no more satisfactory shrub for the partially shaded 
area of your garden than the Fuchsia. It may be grown in every 
state of the Union. Many varieties bloom continuously from early 
spring until late fall. With its almost endless variety of types 
and forms, its single and double flowers, ranging in size from 
that of a tiny lilac blossom up to flowers five inches long, and a 
color range from white through the entire gamut to violet, it is 
little wonder that today it is one of our most popular flowering 
shrubs. 
At my nursery in West Los Angeles, I have growing over 200 
varieties. In this collection you will find liny dwarf varieties, 
others that make veritable trees 15 to 20 feel tall. Then again 
we have trailing and climbing varieties, others that make ex¬ 
cellent hanging basket subjects, and still others that may be 
used for low hedges. From this collection I have selected those 
that are most popular and those with the most contrast of color 
or type.

Double Flowered Fuchsias 
ABBEY FARCES: A fitting subject to head the list of the 
double and semi-double varieties. I am not at all surprised that 
it receives so many compliments or is so popular. Its tall up¬ 
right growth is covered for many months with masses of ex¬ 
quisite medium sized flowers. The petals which form the semi¬ 
double corolla are a soft silvery lilac surrounded by sepals of 
irridescent pink. It can not be too highly recommended. 
BETTY (Hazard & Hazard): Small flowered semi-double trail¬ 
er. Tube and sepals are rose red, corolla rich creamy white 
veined red. Good foliage. New and popular. 3-inch pels 20c; 
4-inch pots 35c. 
BLUE DANCING DOLL: Much like G. Monk, rich blue corolla 
with red sepals. The plant is a good grower and well worth 
having. 
How to Grow Fuchsias 
Fuchsias are one of the easiest plants to grow. Their native 
home is the tropic and semi-tropical areas of North and South 
America, with a few coming to us from far-off New Zealand. They 
are at home in practically any country of the world and will 
thrive in any state of the Union. 
Select a shaded or partially shaded area of your garden in 
which to plant them. Give them a rich friable soil made up of 
two parts garden loam, one part leafmold or peat and one part 
well rotted manure. To this add occasional light feedings of 
some good commercial fertilizer and you will have a glorious 
display of gorgeous bloom for many months. During the hot 
summer top dress the soil around the base of the plants with one 
inch of leafmold or peat moss. This will keep the roots cool, 
which is one of the few requisites of Fuchsias. They will not 
stand an outside temperature below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. In 
cold countries they must be lifted with a ball of earth around 
the roots and stored away during extreme cold weather, then 
reset in the spring.

CHIEF: Considered by many to be one of the finest novelties 
of 1937. It is well deserving of the name given it. The enor¬ 
mous, double flowers are a rich, dark violet, with some of the

carmine. After seeing this one grow another year I like it even

The large plant which we

ceive its share of praise 
by all the many hundreds 
of visitors that see it. The 
large, white, loosely form¬ 
ed corolla is streaked with 
carmine and the sepals 
are a rich scarlet.
